These are the first comics I can remember choosing:
Why did I choose these over everything else? I'm 100% certain that I was attracted to the costumes.
In retrospect, it's amazing that I became hooked on the X-Men given how confusing that storyline is as a jumping on point.
These books aren't as exciting as everyone else's firsts, but they bring back a lot of childhood memories. At that time, the comic book stores were about 6 months ahead of the newsagencies in New Zealand. I remember being blown away the first time I walked into a comic store and saw the latest issue of all these books I had been collecting from the newsagencies. I could only visit the comic book shop during school vacations, so I spent most of 1989 buying a stack of new issues and piecing together the back issues from the newsagencies. I would go back and forward between storylines, and being a child with limited means, I'd get these gaps in my collection. I vividly remember begging my mother to buy me Uncanny X-Men 237, but I didn't read the conclusion until years later.
